Subject: Question about physical training Fri Jun 24, 2011 1:51 pm

Im 15 years old.I was wondering how much physical training there is in the academy.Im not that fit and i do have time to get in shape but im really scared because i was never really athletic.Im also very slow.I think im overweight.But what are some things that can get me ready.How much running is there going to be and how should i train for that.How should i train for everything.Is it hard at the academy and is it like a boot camp.What are some of the things you do there.I know im asking a lot of questions but im really scared and i want to be ready.Thank you.

In my opinion, the physical training during the academy wasn't too difficult. I'm sure some academies are tougher than others, but I wouldn't worry about it. Almost everyone that is in average condition that puts forth their best effort can pass. Start out slow, and try to get in better and better condition. Push-ups, sit-ups, and running are are great activities to get in shape and prepare you for the academy. I would also do some pull-ups and interval training when you're fit enough. Stay away from the sugar and saturated fat.

I wouldn't worry too much. When I was in the academy, there were a couple of guys that barely passed the physical fitness entry test. They were definitely not in very good shape, but they graduated. They have been officers for 8 years now.
